After Dark

Good Evening All.....another long day done, half day tomorrow...then 10 days off!!!!!
I purchased my first Loreal  polish on monday, After Dark...a blue so dark it looks black.  I love the shade, but hate the polish. All around my nails were BLUE, the formula is so thin and clean up is awful  :( I am  afraid of what my nails will look like when I remove it....as I said , it is really pretty after the clean up.

The complete Cast of Character for this mani...

And , the finished product...I kinda like it  :)

Thanks for stopping by, and thanks to all the new followers!!!  About time for another giveaway  :)

Gunmetal and Gold using Cheeky Image Plates

Good Morning All!!  I received my 2012 Cheeky Image Plates yesterday....yeah   :)
I thought that I would do a quick mani to see how they worked since alot of bloggers have reported missing plates, duplicates and warped plates.  So far I have found none of these issues with my set.

I used a base coat of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Gunmetal and chose the Cheeky IP CH7.  Sally Hansen Color Quick Pen in gold was used for the stamping.

These plates have some really cute images, I can't wait to use the boots on this one!!!

And this is how the mani turned out, it "kinda" matches my scrub top for today    LOL

  The plates stamped very easily.  You can purchase them  here.  Give them a look.   :)
Thanks for coming by, today is my friday, see everyone tomorrow!!!

Happy Valentine's Day-Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend!

Happy Valentine's Day to All!!!  Does everyone have plans for tonight???  I will be babysitting  so the younger ones of the family can celebrate  :)
I did this mani for Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenge...the spring one.  Check out all the manis  here.
I liked it so much that I decided to do my post for today with it.....I am kinda worried about myself...it is PINK....pink is right up there with green for me!

My Cast of Characters for this mani  were NYC  Uptown, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Strobe Light. Using BM 09 IP with the Sally Hansen Color Quik Pen in gold. I free handed the french tips.

Here it is...hope you like it as much as I do!

 I love this diamond stamp!! Kinda hard to get a pic of it though  :(

 I hope that everyone has a lovely Vday!!

Finally :(

Hello All, how is your saturday going??   Have you ever had those times when EVERY mani you do is not up to your own personal standards?????  I have been that way for 3 days now.  I decided that I would go ahead and post this one, even though I am not completely happy with it  :(

I started with Sinful Colors Base Coat, then 4 coats...yes 4 , of WnW FuchsiaRama.  The application was runny and sheer, which you would not think by looking at the bottle!!!
SH04 plate was used with Sally Hansen Color Quik Pen in gold to stamp. Of course, top coat to end it !!

I certainly hope that I get my inspiration back  :(
Have a great day, thanks for listening to my rant!!!

Gifted Day

Good Evening All!!  How was  everyone's day???  Mine was GREAT!!!....I got presents  :) :)
My daughter, Lauren, was in Walgreens last week and there was a box of nail  supplies marked down to $5...you couldn't tell what was in it, so she took a chance and got it for me!

 Brown paper box...kinda scary!!
This is what was in it....

 I was impressed for $5.00, even more impressed when I really looked at everything.

But I got really excited when I saw these!!!

I had never tried these, and I needed some "chromey" colors to stamp with!!  They are fantastic for stamping. I joined the FB group " Adventures in  Stamping", you can join at the following link if interested. http://www.facebook.com/groups/263483630378224/

There is a weekly "theme" to be posted on Sundays.  This week it was green........I  DO NOT LIKE GREEN  :(
But ,this is what I came up with and I used the Color Quik in green to stamp.

So, I had a great day!!!  Sorry for such a long post, just soooo much to say today :)   Thank you for stopping by, have a good evening.
